COSTAFINE TOWN - SPLINTER

The English pop group Splinter had a big hit in 1974 with "Costafine Town" and it was mostly attributed to the fact that George Harrison (member of The Beatles) was associated with its production. Besides being Splinter's producer George also played guitar on this track.

Sadly, because the estate of George Harrison is held up with legal issues many of the songs formerly on George's Dark Horse label have never been on CD.

I have been looking for this song for maybe 20 years (seriously!) I heard it as a kid growing up in Stonehaven Scotland, but I never knew what they were saying! Thanks so much for putting this up, I couldn't seem to buy it anywhere! Don

Hi I thought I was the only one who heard this song 38 years ago it seemed to sum up where I lived I bought it for 5p ex jukebox and for 38 years I knew the words the song the air but had never heard it again until today. I just played it to my wife with tears in my eyes via Youtube she cannot believe its not available if you have a download please let me know.thank you
